The Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System (VASDHS) MIRECC has openings for a 2-year clinical-research postdoctoral psychology fellowship (9/1/2020 – 8/31/2022).
The goal and focus of the fellowship is to train and develop the next generation of leading clinical researchers in schizophrenia and other forms of serious mental illness. Over the course of the two-year program, fellows are trained in academic, clinical, and health systems research, advanced clinical care service delivery, and program administration in an interdisciplinary setting. The fellowship combines individual mentored research and clinical training with state-of-the-art educational experiences. The MIRECC fellowship is also part of a larger VASDHS APA-accredited fellowship program, the Clinical Mental Health Research (CMHR) program.
The VASDHS MIRECC program is part of a joint collaborative MIRECC with the West Los Angeles (LA) VA, as a single MIRECC over VA VISN 22. The San Diego and Los Angeles MIRECC faculty work together in close collaboration; our San Diego-based trainees have multiple training and mentoring experiences with the Los Angeles faculty, affording a uniquely rich opportunity and breadth of expertise across the two sites. The combined research programs are internationally recognized in a broad range of research areas including cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging electrophysiology, neuropsychology, animal models, geriatric mental health, psychosocial interventions, cognitive remediation, clinical psychopharmacology, health services, and implementation science. We have a strong commitment to translational research linking basic science to clinical research and clinical research to services research.
Faculty/potential research mentors (and interests) include: David Braff, M.D. (psychophysiology, genetics), Gregory G. Brown, Ph.D. (neuroimaging, neuropsychology, computational modeling). Mark Geyer, Ph.D. (animal models, behavioral psychopharmacology), Lisa T. Eyler, Ph.D. (neuroimaging, geriatrics, microbiome and motivation), Greg Light, Ph.D. (psychophysiology, cognitive remediation), Barton W. Palmer, Ph.D. (aging, loneliness, empirical ethics research), Jared Young, Ph.D. (animal models, translational research, behavioral psychopharmacology), and others.
Application deadline is 12/1/2019 via the APPA CAS portal.
